Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 512

Chapter 512: Cousin ( 1 )
Before Lu Jueyu could answer, Li Chenmo interrupted her, “I have a friend who has a way to get those items. We can’t guarantee that we can get as much as you want, but we will do our best.”

Bajie smiled even more happily after hearing his words. Not many people want to collect jade or gold these days because they are banned items. As a result, many people in the black five categories who only have some hidden jade and gold are not able to get food and would starve to death.

If Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu are willing to exchange jade and gold for food, then those people’s chance of survival will increase!

Bajie bent down, bowed deeply to the two of them, and said, “Brother Li, sister-in-law, on behalf of those people, I would like to express my gratitude to you two. Thank you!”

Li Chenmo held his arm and said, “You don’t have to thank me and my wife. Since my wife likes to collect these items and they are willing to use these items to pay, it is a fair deal. We take what we need, nothing more.”

After hearing what he said, Bajie’s admiration for them increased even more. Not only are they kind-hearted, but they are also humble.

After reaching an agreement, Bajie and his group left under the cover of night. After locking the door, Li Chenmo and Lu Jueyu went back to the bedroom to sleep.

At the same time, an hour later, Bajie and his group finally arrived at Houzi’s place. As soon as the bamboo basket was unloaded from the tricycle, a man in a hat knocked on the door.

Hearing the knock on the door, Bajie opened the door and asked, “Who are you looking for?”

The man looked around to make sure no one was following him, then whispered, “I’m looking for Su Jun.”

Hearing this name, Bajie was confused and said, “There is no one named Su Jun here.”

Hearing this, the man frowned and said, “This is impossible. I am sure he is here.”

Seeing that Bajie didn’t come in, Houzi walked over to check the situation and asked, “Bajie, what’s wrong?”

Hearing his voice, the man’s eyes lit up and he said, “Cousin.”

Houzi frowned when he heard the man calling him cousin. When he came to the man, he was surprised to see him and said, “Ah Jian?”

“Cousin, you’re really here.” Su Jian said with a sigh of relief.

Seeing that this was not a suitable place to talk, Houzi said, “Let’s talk inside.”

Bajie stepped aside to let Su Jian in and locked the door. Entering the back room, Houzi asked, “Ah Jian, what happened? Why are you here? Did something happen to your parents?”

“Cousin, I heard from Meijia that your business is doing well. I came here to propose a deal.”

Houzi sat down and said, “Take a seat. What’s your deal?”

Su Jian, who was sitting opposite Houzi, said, “Cousin, I have a friend who is a train driver. Both of us are helping others send packages secretly to earn some money. At the moment, there is a food shortage in my town and the price has doubled. We expect prices are likely to rise further and want to stock some before selling it at a higher price.”

“So, I was wondering if you wanted to sell your food in my town? All you have to do is provide the supplies. My friends and I will take care of the rest. We will split the net profit 4 to 6.” he added.

Houzi observed his cousin for a while and asked, “Su Jian, why did you suddenly get involved in this kind of thing? Didn’t your maternal grandparents say that they would help your family find jobs in factories? Is the salary not enough?”

Hearing his question, Su Jian went silent and avoided his gaze.

Houzi noticed his little movement and asked, “Su Jian, what happened?”

Before Su Jian could speak, he added, “Be honest and tell the truth. You know you can’t lie to me.”

After a while, Su Jian sighed and said, “Cousin, it’s not good to be so observant.”

Houzi crossed his arms and looked at him, then asked again, “So, what is going on?”

“What else? My maternal grandparents and uncles thought my family was a burden and refused to help us. We now live in a small village, barely making ends meet. My parents are used to a comfortable life, so their bodies can’t bear the farm work. Now my parents are too weak to work in the fields.” Su Jian sighed.

“My sister was born frail and had to go to the hospital once every three months. If I hadn’t done this, my family would have starved to death,” he added.

After hearing his explanation, Houzi fell into deep thought. After a long time, he finally asked, “Su Jian, do you want to take your family to Xie village? Meijia lives there, and we are both here. We can help your family.”

Su Jian shook his head and said, “Cousin, it’s not that I don’t want to. But we need a travel permit. I can visit you today because my friends helped me. Otherwise I wouldn’t be able to come here.”

Houzi smiled as he recalled what happened to the black hawks. He patted his cousin on the shoulder and said, “Don’t worry about this. Your cousin-in-law might be able to help you. ”

“Who is my cousin-in-law? Cousin, have you finally agreed to get married?” Su Jian asked in shock.

Houzi slapped Su Jian on the back of the head and said, “Stop talking nonsense. He is Meijia’s boyfriend.”

Su Yang touched his head and said, “Cousin, even Meijia already has a boyfriend. It’s time for you to find a wife.”

Houzi glared at him and said, “If you keep talking nonsense, don’t blame me for beating you.”

Since they were young, Su Jian couldn’t beat Houzi in close combat. So, he chose to shut up and nodded.
